Many of these are capable of being prominent early so a genuine staying test should unfold. GONE BANANAS (7) was thirty-nine days between runs when a decent fifth in heavy going last start over 1500m at Newcastle. Gets beyond a mile for the first time which is the obvious query, but he is one-paced and should cope with the challenge. JUNEBUG (2) was handy on straightening but couldn't go with them in the closing stages over 1800m at Sandown last time. Raced once over this sort of trip and was in the placings last prep in a Class 1. Should be thereabouts. PERFECT JUSTICE (5) just missed two back in a BM64 over 1600m at Kembla. Outclassed in the Tulloch Stakes last time. Unproven at this trip but is bred to run it out. Should be in the finish. ALPINE KANDY (3) is flying this prep, most recently sustaining a long run to score in a similar race here a fortnight ago. Getting up in the weights but she is going much better than any of these. MINDSPACE (6) is very fit after four runs back from a spell. Looks ready to peak based on a strong effort at Eagle Farm last time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gone Bananas each-way in a tricky race to open.
